Christian Harbor offers support and
resources based on Christian principles and
the Twelve Step Program of Alcoholics Anonymous. It has
been said that the introduction of this program in 1935 by two low
bottom alcoholics, one a broker and the other a doctor was a
"God given program." The concept of giving to others that
they could expect to receive is the foundation stone of recovery.
And who better to make this offer than those who were able to say,
"Yes, we have been there and we know what you are
going through."
Alcoholism is a progressive, fatal disease that can only
be arrested through complete abstinence. The entire family of an
alcoholic is always affected by this malady to some extent.
Alcoholism is a family disease that must be treated in the light of
that fact.
We
at Christian Harbor emphasize family involvement in the overall
recovery of alcoholism. Families who are entangled in active
alcoholism and codependency either grow together or they grow
apart.
"The family that recovers together-
stays together."
